Project2230 {Old School}

This is a typical classroom on Rice's campus. They are all quite small and this one is outdated compared to many of the others. The blackboard and wooden desks definitely give it a unique feel, and the desks are actually what I like most about it. When I was very young we used to have a desk just like this at home...the only difference was that it had a drawer on the left side. From this desk my sister and I used to run our businesses and play school. Really it was Meredith who played school and I just got bossed around. She would come up with assignments and lessons for me and I can remember being grilled with fractions and vocabulary that was several years ahead of me. But when I really think about it I think that is one of the places my love for education began. The school we set up in our basement was fun, creative, and we never got in trouble for playing school. It's funny how both of us are so passionate about teaching now.
